« L'État, c'est la grande fiction à travers laquelle tout le monde s'efforce de vivre aux dépens de tout le monde. »
The State is the great fiction through which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else.
Frédéric Bastiat · Paris, 1848
Embroidered tees and dad hats for the European tradition of liberty. Bastiat in French, Mises in German, Hayek on cotton — each piece printed and stitched on demand, in Europe, for those who carry a longer memory.

„ Der Markt ist nicht ein Ort, ein Ding oder ein kollektives Wesen. Der Markt ist ein Prozeß. "
The market is not a place, a thing, or a collective entity. The market is a process.
« La libertad no es un fin en sí misma, sino el medio indispensable para que cada ser humano pueda buscar su propio fin. »
Liberty is not an end in itself, but the indispensable means by which each human being may pursue their own.
Liberty was not invented in 1776. By then, it had already been remembered — at the Icelandic Althing, the Swiss cantons, the Hansa, in the markets of Bruges, in the universities of Salamanca, in the writings of Bastiat in Paris and Menger in Vienna.
Old Continent Liberty makes a small thing for that long memory: garments, embroidered and printed in Europe, made when ordered. No warehouses. No waste. Just liberty, worn.
